Putting Some Sparkle In the Stars

I've been working on my Stars in Your Eyes quilt/wall hanging. I have it all basted and have begun quilting it. Since some of the fabric I used had some metallic gold in the fabric, I thought I would continue that theme and quilt it with metallic thread.

I'm really enjoying this project and given that this is just a small wall hanging I may just be able to finish it quickly.

Today I'll link up with Freemotion by the River for Linky Tuesday

Stars In Your Eyes

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of horses. I still love horses. So when my quilt guild had a "blox made modern" challenge" I thought I would incorporate some of that lovely Cotton and Steele Mustang fabric. This is for every little girl who has "Stars in Your Eyes" every time they see horses.

The challenge was to take a traditional block and make it modern. So I took an Ohio Star block and made it modern.

It is modern because:
     1. Scale: this block is 24"x 45"
     2. Wonky/Improv: the center is not square, the star points don't match
     3. Lots of negative space with solid fabric
    
I plan to back it and quilt it, leaving it this size for a nice wall hanging.
